INITIAL POST:
PART A: Using the form provided, list three cultures of which you are a member. In this context, so that you have several to discuss, “culture” may include any group to which you belong—your ethnicity or country of origin (or region of the country you live in), religion, philosophy, socioeconomic class, educational level, leisure activity groups and hobbies, and more. (For it to be a culture, it can’t be something you do in isolation, like stamp–collecting or gaming, done alone. For this exercise it must be something done in groups, and it must have some cultural mores/customs that you learn as you become a part of it.)
PART B:You will list who socialized you into that culture and taught you to be a part of it. Every culture has unspoken rules which outsiders are often unaware of. In this assignment you will identify the unspoken rules in your culture/s. (Anthropologists ARE beginning to explain these, but what does everyone that is a part of your cultures know to do, that others looking “in” might not understand?)
PART A: Cultures of which you are member
Culture (don’t select nursing–we are all nurses!) Unspoken rule in this culture (1-2 sentences are all that is needed here).
Ethnic culture (or other major culture you know well)
Social group
Recreational group
(Optional—other group).
PART B: Who socialized you into each culture you listed?
What culture/s have you been a part of, and are not now? (Name at least one, and more if you can.)
You will fill out this form, copy and paste it to the discussion board, and reply to 2 colleagues with a substantive remark, citing an experience you have had or seen/heard of, a reference, or a link.
